A Mountain Bully.

A few years ago there died in a
mountain county in east Tennessee .
man who was noted bully. He was a
splendid specimen of physical manhood,
and was in every respect fighting bully.
He would fight at the drop of a hat.
and could knock out half-dozen ordi-
nary men in one round. He would
fight for the fun of it, and he who would
dare cross his path was indeed q reck-
less man. In the old days of State
militia and muster he was a promi-
nent man in his neighborhood and col,
onel of militia regiment On muster
days, when the drill was over, he would
proceed to clean up the regiment
When he shed his coat, twisted his
huge fist around a few times, and
yelled at the top of his voice: ''Hide
would be a general stampede. This
was how he came to be called "Oid
Hide Out" in after years.
When the late war came on he joined
one of the confederate regiments. and
made brave, fearless soldier. During
a slight skirmish his company had with
the federals down in Georgia, he took
his gun by the muzzle. and. with his
old-time watch-word. Hide out, little
'uns, Pm a coming'" rushed into the
midst of the federal soldiers, putting
,sthem to flight, not, however, without
receiving a serious wound in the head,
which put him into the hospital for
months, and permanently injured his
mind,
When he returned to his native coun
ty he was not the fearless bully OF old
but much-broken, toop-shouldered
and crazy old man. He would stroll
through the neighborhood aimlessly
and seemingly unconscious of his
whereabouts, always muttering to him
self as he went: Hide out. little 'uns
I'm a comin'," Little boys and girl'
would make sport of him, and .'Old
HIDE" as they called hims paid no heeG
to their mockery. He had become per
fectly harmless.
At last the old man became mortally
ill. He was alone in a little cabin pro
vided for his use by an old comrade il
the army. A few friends who haC
known him in his better days gathered
around his humble couch expecting ths
end. 1t was now late in the afternoon
and the old fellow had not spoken fol
days. He was rapidly sinking, ant
someone remarked that he would &c
down with the sun, which was ther
pouring its last rays through the cninkl
and creyices of the cabin wall. Jus
then his face seemed to tighten up. hi
eyes twinkled, and he opened his lips

Paper Collars and Cuffs.


Paper collars and cuffs are becom-
ing popular again, said a Fulton street
haberdasher to a reporter of the Brook
lyn Edgte. ''ln late years it was con-
sidered vulgar to wear them, but now
they are affected by all classes of So
ciety. have many wealthy customers
who will wear nothing else. They are
mostly elderly gentlemen who have
been educated to the idea from boy
hood and are loath to discard the style
of linen worn by their daddies. Paper
collars have the best sale in tine rural
districts. Farmers. if they wear collars
at all. affect paper ones. A linen collar
is almost unknown in some parts of the
country, particularly in the west. OF
late l have noticed that many young
and dressy men wear paper linen, and
more especially in warm weather.
Paper collars come cheap. Some
brands are worth more than others.
An excellent quality can be bought for
25 cents box. which contains ten col
lars. Cuffs cost the same for box
containing five pairs. In hot weather
paper collars are luXuries to men who
perspire freely. They can be changed
as often as desired, and are compare
lively cheap when 1t is taken into con-
sideration that a box can be purchased
al about the same price as would be
paid for one linen collar. But few
men can tell paper collars at glance.
Some brands make nearly as good an
appearance as linen. Celluloid collars
and cuffs are now seldom worn. Some
years ago they We're very popular, but
only in not weather. False. or paper
bosoms, have also almost wholly dis
appeared"

Silent People as Misjudged by the
Noisy.

When a number of good-humored
people are setting out. bright and early
in the morning, on some exhilarating
expedition, it is pleasant to notice how
lively and expansive they are. For the
their words rather than speaking them.
But as the forenoon goes on. one after
another drops gradually into eompara-
tive quiet and silence. 1t is not that
they have ceased to enjoy the excursion
and each other, but the first eherves-
cence of the uncorked animal spirits OF
the morning has spent itself.
In a similar fashion, as we get on
in life past the period of obstreperous
youth, we incline to talk less and write
less, especially on the topics which we
have most mt heart. The younger peo-
pie notice this, and think it is because
we are growing lukewarm on these
matters. They deplore US, among them
selves, as being ''lost leaders," or lost
followers, of this and the other fine
cause. But they do not understand.
The thought is deeper and stronger in
us now. perhaps. than when it was visi-
BILE at the surface and made more noise.
We are beginning to realize the useless
ness of perpetually talking, that is all.
If there is thing TO be said, We prefer
to wait. and say it only when and
where it will hIt something OF some
body.
Moreover. if the youngsters will OBJ.
serve US Il little. they may see that We
say number of things-and pretty
forcibly, toby simply taking them
for granted. They might follow u.
around, A and b and c, and hal
dozen more of us elders. and listen Il
our talk for whole week without evel
hearing. from us single argument o
exhortation on the subject say, of tht
, Intellectual Rights of Women. or th'
Rlscality of 1hick-and-Thin Partisans
or the Curse of the Ignorant Vote. Blu
/ they would soon notice that what W,
quietly take for granted in our. tall
I would furnish number of tolera bl,
strong creeds or platforms. They nigh
/ come TO the conclusion. too, that thi
quiet taking of certain things for grant
! ed by sensible and vigorous men ant
women is not to be despised, as work

Prof. Palmer. of Adelbert college,
Cleveland. Ohio, has gone to Europe
to have packed and shipped to this
country tine library of Prof. Scherrer, Of
Berlin university. This collection of
books. comprising about twelve thous-
and volumes. is regarded ss among the
most valuable in the late professors
line of study-that of German language
and literature. During his studies in
the old country Prof. Palmer was for a
time student of Prof. Scherrer, and
thereby became aware of the valuable
character of the library. Soon after
the death of the professor during the
past year Prof. Palmer wrote to the
family iuquiring whether the library
was to be disposed of. and by subse-
quent correspondence he finally sue
ceeded in securing it for Adelbert. The
price paid for the collection has been
subscribed by Cleveland citizens.

John entered uis room and shut the

the gas, pulled down the shade, and
stood irresoute. Like one in a dream
he went to the bedside and laid his hand
against the pillow 1t was slightly
damp. He sank down IN a chair and
covered his face with his hands. For
long time he sat there motionless; then
he arose. took out his evening news

1t was a calm June afternoon.
John" said Clarice. touching his
arm with a certain timidity she had
never quite outgrown. '.life is a fairy
tale, and love is beautiful, only it comes
in different way"
"And this is the love we have dream
ed Of" And John Rogers looked into
the dewy brown eyes Of the little girl in
the calico gown. and putting his arm
around her waist pressed her close to
his heart.
And the sunlight danced in at the
window and touched the sweet lips
learning TO smile with heart content,
and the grave. fond face of John Rog-
ers- And it folded them in its embrace,

For making a ton of any kind of metal
it requires foar tons of material, con-

each day 5000 tons of material handled.
Estimating this immense amount at
twenty tons, or 10000 pounds. to car,
it would require the use of 800 cars. In
addition to this the firm finishes every
day at least 1000 tons, requiring fifty
cars more, Besides this, l5O tons OF
unfinished old iron and raw steel are
handled at Thirty-third street. The
liquid metal, ESQ tons daily, handled at
the steel-rail mill, is transferred in what

say that 315 ears are required every day

CHAPTER
Several months had passed away.
John Rogers had often found his way
into the shabby little parlor and chat
ted with Clarice. Once he had found
bunch of flowers on his bureau. and no
room in the house was such model OF
order.
One day as he sauntered into the par
lor toward dusk. hoping that his little
friend would come there with her basket
and mending and sit awhile, he heard
the rustic of feminine garments. and
looking up, saw that mis- landlady stood
before him. Mrs. Dean was a woman
who prided herself on her former digni-
ty. She wore very long and dusty
alpaca. 1t being no longer within her
limits to trail silk. she trailed alpaca.
Some persons are of this mold. Her
hands, which she folded majestically,
were very grimy. Rogers remembered
with pleasure that Clarice was always

Olive Harper writes of the ex-Empress
Eugene, whom she saw Just before
her departure from England: Her
beauty has much faded. but it had
taken on womanly softness born OF
suffering, and to me, at least, it would
have been far more attractive than any
youthful charm she had then lost
Her hair was still abundant, her eyes
and lips still lovely, and that nameless
grace and Incompatible attraction was
still hers. The beauty of intelligence
like hers never fades" The same cor.

two countries by giving fair and
square description of her personal ap-
pearance.
